First time I used my Ryobi impact gun was at a CSF and the wheels kept trying to fall off on track, then they tried again on the way home, learnt the hard way that without a breaker bar to make sure they're tight you'll definitely die.

Turns out i'm actually a highly skilled mechanic in comparison. Have you changed the oil filter yet? It's a piece of piss you mongoloid.

The irony is I used it to visit Ryan and Kim in their new house, I think seeing Ryan and him not working on it upset the car, so it threw a strop on the way home.

Went into limp mode again but didn't cut out this time, RST says the same thing 'Voltage Regulator 1' so it's either the alternator, the battery, or both, if the positive terminal had come loose again it would have cut out, although it wasn't as tight as it is when cold because the heat had...

I quite like the idea of a Tesla powered Delorean, need a lottery win for that though.

Do people run them as daily's, or mainly on track being RHD?

Are they easy to sell, can't imagine many people know what they are, or do you only import stuff you already have buyers for?

Nice little niche you'd made for yourself there, can't imagine there's many importing Renault Sports to that side of the world?

That has to be a bare metal restoration to be that mint, those things came pre rusted from the factory.

Not often you see an Eleanor replica.

These used to be everywhere, then they weren't, mad how quickly that happens.

Corrected that for you mate, there's no need for them at all.

Don't Ford in the US do that with the Mustang? I'm sure there's a list of aftermarket parts you can spec when buying one.

They try this non standard car crap every couple of years, then the motorsport and aftermarket car industry tell the government how much money they make for the economy each year and the proposals are quietly dropped.

Oh nice one mate, i'll definitely take you up on that!

I'm thinking of using a tent for all my tools and whatnot and sleeping in the Clio, going to have to inflate an air bed and see if it fits.

I think I may have found the solution to this, was preparing the Clio for it's mot tomorrow and because it's sat so long the battery is a little sluggish in turning the over, so I decided to give it a quick charge and discovered that no matter how much you tighten it, the positive terminal is...

I've only ever had to change mine once, used an oem one from Renault, been fine for well over 10 years.

Come to CSF this year, it as sounds like it might be the last one in it's current guise, I want to get molested by a drunk Stevie Nicks again.

I doubt you'll feel any increased vibration with that setup, i've never used the insert but the general consensus is it's the softer of the two options, but still a worthwhile upgrade.

If it's these then they're near identical to Vibratechnics.

What mounts are you thinking of, Vibratechnics?

Uprated engine mounts made my power delivery much more instant, it did make the car vibrate a bit more but that's because the drivetrain movement had been transferred to the exhaust mounts, which are also polybushed. So my advise would be do it, but keep your exhaust mounts soft so it reduces...

Top right hand side of the grill next to the text sticker.

I know vey little about car electrics, does your car think the bonnets open when it's closed?

You'll get a high idle from having a vacuum leak, it usually jumps to 3k rpm.

You don't need it, block it off.

I was joking, i've got a new alternator to go on, that should solve the voltage regulator issue causing it to randomly cut out.

Full tack day booked with money I don't have for a car that doesn't really work, I look forward to breaking down before i've even got there, then breaking down on track and ruining everyone's day.

Spray the black bits white, lower it, stick nicer wheels on it, also stick an open cone air filter on it, it won't make it any faster, it might even make it a little slower, but it'll sound fantastic.
